Completed in 1842 as the Chinese traders' and workers' quarter. Raffles had already envisioned in 1822 the Chinese to settle on the land south of the river, whilst the Europeans settled along the northern stretch.

The old shop- and warehouses were refurbished in the 1980s and 90s as restaurants and bars.
